Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Bingham who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Aldermore. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

The quote is fractionally on the high side. Where you are prepared to expend time contrasting quotes you might shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the legal work the firm offered you couldlive to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to check that the conveyancer can represent Aldermore.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Bingham what would it be?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Bingham conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

Can I be sure that the Bingham conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Bingham obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bingham. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
